Few players were as good as Anele Ngcongca, who sadly lost his life in a car accident yesterday. Not only was he a great talent on the field, he was a gentleman off it as well | By Mihlalibaleka RIPAneleNgcongca IOLsport

With the Brazilians, Ngcongca won three Premiership titles and a host of trophies, which include the coveted Caf Champions League and Super Cup during his four-year stint with the Brazilians as they domNgcongca’s career was impressive. At Sundowns he was an established player in the right wing-back role, but many will remember himHis experience was there for all to see.

But a move to Egyptian giants Al Ahly saw Mosimane depart from his coaching position at Sundowns. And then Ngcongca was signed on loand by AmaZulu on from Friday before losing his life in KwaZulu-Natal in the early hours of yesterday morning. A selfless man who is survived by his wife and daughter, Ngcongca, didn’t sweep anything under the carpet. While most footballers give rehearsed comments from PR training, Ngcongca told it like it was – good or bad.

In a chat at the start of lockdown, Ngcongca didn’t shy away from telling me that he felt illtreated at Sundowns after the club renewed his contract without his knowledge. But most importantly, he was thrilled with his time in Belgium. But to take a leaf from Mosimane’s book, Ngcongca was a true gent. Thapelo Morena may have excelled in the right-back role since being converted to the role, but that has been largely due to the teachings of seasoned campaigners such as Ngcongca.@MihlaliBaleka
